MOVIN' ON UP: Reliable Window & Siding is moving to Stoughton at a space on Tosca Dr. The business, which has been in Canton since 2000, under the leadership of the late Albie DiStefano. Owner Carol DiStefano tells About Town that the rent will be $1,100 cheaper for the same amount of space and the office is much nicer. She was enthusiastic about her new landlord, too. "We are renting from Eric Hoffmann. His family is from Stoughton and he currently lives in New York. We are really looking forward to the move to 194 Tosca Dr in Stoughton on January 3, 2013," she said. As someone who used Reliable for all his new windows several years ago, I want to wish Carol a lot of luck in her new location! *** FEASTER GETS A FAREWELL LUNCH: No doubt…
